"California Son" enters at #4 in UK album charts; #1 in UK vinyl album charts

https://www.officialcharts.com/char...number-1-on-the-official-albums-chart__26457/

Excerpt:
Morrissey claims this week’s highest new entry with his covers album California Son at Number 4, his 14th Top 10 album as a solo artist.

The Motion Picture Cast Recording of Elton John biopic Rocketman makes a Top 5 debut at Number 5, just ahead of Elton’s Diamonds greatest hits album, which leaps nine spots to Number 6. The Amazons’ second album Future Dust becomes their second Top 10 effort, debuting at Number 9.

All 14 of them:
Viva Hate: 1
Bona Drag: 9
Kill Uncle: 8
Your Arsenal: 4
Vauxhall: 1
Southpaw: 4
Maladjusted: 8
Quarry: 2
Ringleader: 1
Greatest Hits: 5
Refusal: 3
World Peace: 2
Low in High School: 5
California Son: 4

So the same position as Your Arsenal and Southpaw Grammar, not bad at all.

Additional info from Music Week:

"Morrissey’s first album release as a sexagenarian (he was 60 on 22 May) is his 12th solo studio set and first ever covers album, California Son, which debuts at No.4 (8,340 sales). It comprises entirely of remakes of songs written and originally recorded by North American (US and Canadian) acts between 1964 and 1975. Morrissey’s fanbase being what it is, it is no surprise that the album performs poorly on sales-equivalent streams (311 units) but very well physically, where its 7,132 sales include 1,951 on vinyl, in which format chart it debuts at No.1.

All of Morrissey’s solo studio albums have made the Top 10, a run that started in 1988 when his first post-Smiths release, Viva Hate debuted at No.1, becoming the first of his three No.1 solo albums. Including his Smiths’ albums, Morrissey has had 24 Top 10 albums, and reached No.1 five times."

You poor thick, f***ing pathetic mong, Call The Comet has only been out for 11 months and sold 8700 copies in its first week compared to Morrissey's 8300 for Californian Son.

What a complete embarrassment you f***ing are.

:lbf:

Comet has yet to breach 7000.

put a bag of pizza pops into your lying mouth.:grinning:
 
congrats Morrissey, his band, Joe C and all who joined Morrissey in songs

number 4 is extremely good, knowing all the songs were already available

Also Congrats for nr 1 in the Vinyl charts

f*** Tim Jonze with his ongoing hate against Morrissey

He along with most registered members has you blocked I think, perhaps that's why he doesn't argue with you? Or like most others he knows you are a troll?

hey P. , the Manics always play with a Welsh flag are they rascist and nationalist too?

'íf you tolerate this than your children will be next'

Haha!!!! Have you ever listened to that song? Its a song against fascism. Moz is the opposite. endorsing the far right, showing sympathy for T.Robinson even that french Le Pen fascist lady. Epic fail!

HAHA

I’ve dedicated enough time to praising and introducing Morrissey to numerous friends and family over the years, spent thousands on his records, he’s my all time favourite artist, and the smiths are my all time favourite band. And you’re denying me an opinion? GTFOH

I'm not denying...just asked WHY?
 
I'm not denying...just asked WHY?

Why what? Why I can’t admit to not liking his political views or his recent material? That opinion is as valid as any pro-Morrissey opinion. And if you don’t like it, why don’t you and Thewlis go and make your own forum where it’s undiluted hero worship and arse kissing, you can police it and ban anyone who has a bad word to say. See how that works out for you. Otherwise shut up and stop crying.
 
"On top of all of this, of course, you need to sell enough music to make the charts. Contrary to much myth, you currently need to sell more music to make the Official Singles Charts than for many years – the average Official Number 1 single has sold between 100,000 and 110,000 copies a week in 2013 and 2014, while you have needed to sell 7,500 to 8,000 copies to make the top 40. Likewise, you have had to sell around 60,000-plus copies to become the Official Number 1 Album and sell 4,000 to 4,500 reach number 40."
